The Best Summer Makeup Trend for Your Zodiac Sign

Gallery24 Slides

Sure, you could choose your makeup look based on your skin tone, or whatever most recently caught your eye on your Instagram feed. Or you could take it to a whole new level of personalization by tailoring it to your astrological sign. Ahead, see what it looks like when you choose the latter (spoiler alert: really freakin' cool).

Taurus

April 20 to May 20

Things are about to get a little Pocahontas, "Colors of the Wind"-y: "Taurus is an earth sign, so they love colors that literally mimic soil and trees," says Stefanie Iris Weiss, an astrologer and one half of the Saturn Sisters duo. "Brown and green liners and shadows are perfect.... They like a natural, sensual look." That translates to lips, too; no bold red or fuchsia here—just a dab of clear gloss for shine.

Gemini

May 21 to June 20

"This experimental sign is the first to go for the fad color of the season," says Weiss. "Geminis' best color is yellow, but they don't shy away from any and all shocking color combos. This is the sign that can overdo it and still look amazing."

Leo

July 23 to August 22

Don't worry, we haven't run out of metallics just yet. Leos are similarly into all things that gleam. "This dramatic sign believes that they must go bold or go home; they love all gold, all the time," says Weiss. "Shimmery gold shadow and a bit of gold highlighter on the cheekbones and décolletage is what every Leo girl craves." Challenge accepted.

Virgo

August 23 to September 22

Virgos are all about being practical and, OK, perhaps a bit type A: "They must plan their makeup application in advance—no swiping it on and running out the door, as fire signs tend to do," says Weiss. This also means they're fiercely loyal to their favorite products and brands. And they're not about being fussy or taking major risks with their makeup. "Like Taureans, Virgos look awesome in neutrals and browns," she says.

Libra

September 23 to October 22

Molly Ringwald, are you listening? Libras are drawn to one specific color: "They're all about pretty in pink," says Sherene Schostak, an astrologer and the other half of the Saturn Sisters. But Libras have also been known to branch out a little. "Baby blue is also a classic Libra fave," says Schostak.

Libra

It is possible to wear pink eye shadow and not look like a crazy (or infected) person. (Who knew?) To create this look, Parsons dusted Nars Blush in Mata Hari lightly over the model's cheeks for a barely there flush. Then, for a bolder statement on the eyes, she brushed Inglot AMC Pure Pigment Eye Shadow in 111 all over the lid, extending it toward the inner corner and also out toward the brow bone. Then came the unexpected blue liner: "Powder blue contrasts with and complements the shimmery pink shadow," says Parsons, who traced ColourPop Crème Gel Liner in Prance along the lower waterline starting at the tear duct.

Scorpio

October 23 to November 21

"Scorpios are the classic femme fatales of the zodiac—think black eyeliner and mascara, and heaps of it," says Schostak. "The more mysterious and dramatic the eyes, the better." Scorpios are all about smolderingly sexy makeup in a goth palette. That means "smoky slates and jet, jet, jet black," she says.

Sagittarius

November 22 to December 21

No subdued wallflowers here. "Sadges want nothing to do with the understated," explains Schostak. "The more adventurous, the better—they're never ones to let fear or doubts break their stride and will choose colors that reflect this relentless optimism."

Capricorn

To translate the concept of a classic day-to-night look, Parsons focused on creating natural but enhanced eyes (a superskinny streak of black eyeliner, a dusting of shimmery mocha shadow). Then, to take the look into evening territory, Parsons pulled out a bold lip color. "To make lipstick last, apply a swipe of concealer over lips, then apply lipstick, blot with a tissue, and reapply the lipstick," says Parsons, who used Nars Lipstick in Fire Down Below for the rich wine lips here.

Pisces

February 19 to March 20

Remember The Rainbow Fish? That entire children's book is pretty much a Pisces mood board. "They're the mystical mermaids of the zodiac, and they're drawn to luminescent shades," says Schostak. That means they like all things shimmery, shiny, and reflective.

Aries

March 21 to April 19

Looking for the red lip of the bunch? Fret not. "Reds for the lips are best for Rams," says Weiss. But that's not the only reddish hue that might be at play. "Aries tend to run hot, and sometimes their skin appears flushed, so foundation or powder that offsets red undertones in the skin can be helpful," she adds.
